Oppose Keating Bill Affects Families and Education
Ellison Sturthe of the South Carolina Textile Manufacturers' association told the Senate interstate commerce committee that passing the house child labor bill would force all under 16 from mills. He argued no hours arrangement could prevent family suffering from lost wages, warning against federal regulation of state affairs. Captain Smythe leads several cotton mills including one at Pelrer. Children prefer mills to school and mills offer 10 cent monthly premiums for perfect attendance to lure them to school in absence of compulsory education laws.
